As a beginner. Things I need to remember pulling points.
Heat base. Heat 2x wider then diameter of tube . Take it in and out of the flame a couple of times. Let the heat sink in. After you pull a few. You will notice the sholders are more even when the heat is right. When you're ready to pull let it firm up some. Keep spinning. Gently pull. I stop a second time after a short pull and let the diameter set, then spin and pull more. And like all glass its practice, practice practice. At over $100 a case you will pay attention and get better relatively soon.
